Interesting. I assume simmons and ingram will go 1 and 2 in next years draft. I will offer russel to the sixers for noel and draft dunn @ 3rd. We basically get noel, dunn and randle for the 1st pick.

This deal would be outstanding for us. Adding Noel, Randle, and Dunn without giving up any starters/young bench players would give us a ton of talent/depth at each position. I'd do this before the Porzingis trade actually, but i would do either of them.

Ingram and Simmons may be great prospects, but that's all they are at this point. Noel, Randle, and Porzingis have all shown very good things in the NBA already, and all are under 21 as well.

It all depends on what the Knicks want to do moving forward. It doesn't make sense to have Melo and Simmons and no Porzingas. I would absolutely trade Simmons for Porzingas though. We could use his outside shooting and length defensively. Ricky/Lavine/Wiggins/Porzingas/Towns would be a crazy lineup that would be awesome to watch.

Why on earth would the Lakers do that. I am feeling like in dream land with some of these trade offers lately

Yep, bleed, I want whatever you're smoking.

Ha. I was really just thinking how much the top pick would be worth vs 3rd. Would we give up Lavine to move from 3rd to 1st? What about 5th to 1st? Part of this.came out because there are rumors that simmons wants to be a Laker. Anyways I wish i had something I was smoking i could share.

How come Denzell Valentine doesn't get more love? He's Mr. Do Everything for MSU. Volume 3-point shooter too.

He's short and not a great athlete.

He's a great player though. At some point skills matter, no? I'm not sure he should be top 5, but he certainly seem worthy of being in that next tier down. These are the types of guys that slip to the Spurs and then they make all the other franchises look like dummies.

Huh? He's at least 6'5 and plays SG.
